We loved the cottage. Cute open floor plan including bed, living room, kitchen area. Bathroom was a good size. It was very close to town which we loved because we always run late and needed to catch the train. Drive way was a little tricky, had to oull in the neighbors driveway to get a good angle ..sharp steep, bumpy incline that levels out. Thanks for the stay. Would stay again.

What a neat place. I traveled along for the first time to Bryson city and found this place to be absolutely perfect for what I need.**Car enthusiasts only: if you run a lowered front spoiler, you’re gonna find it hard to navigate in the driveway. It needs to be stock height or better.

This cottage was really nice. I love the Christmas decor it was very detailed. I was expecting it to be more clean. We found a good bit of bugs. It still wasn’t a bad experience we enjoyed ourselves and would revisit.

This was advertised as 2 bedroom, 1 bath. It is a one bed efficiency studio. Nice but we expected 2 bedrooms.

The host is next door. She is super nice! Very convenient. Lovely cottage, comfortable bed. Everything neat and tidy. Nice fire pit outside. The walk to town is nice. The walk back is insane unless you very fit. Long hard hills to climb. great cottage. I highly recommend it!

Overall I had a decent stay and this cottage was perfect for my couple of days in Bryson City. Only issues I had was I was only left with a single partial roll of toilet paper, there was hair in the shower, and the floors needed to be mopped. Other than that, no complaints. The host was accommodating and adjusted my original stay to add an extra night.

Great location! Nice little cottage stay.

Loved this little cabin! Christy, our host, was extremely communicative and available throughout our stay. Check in and check out process was very easy to follow. I stayed with my husband and labrador. Plenty of room for just the three of us with, a small yard space for the dog. The cabin was a really convenient to walk into Bryson City. We will be back to visit!

Cute and Cozy

Cute and comfortable cottage. However it is not a 2 bedroom and definitely not walking distance to the downtown area due to the steep road leading to its location, but otherwise it was a nice setting everything was great.

Very Comfortable

I didn't give it a 5 due to being a little dusty and the toilet area being a little dirty. One thing I want to mention. If you plan on walking to and from anything in town Do Not stay here unless you are young and/or in VERY good shape. The listing gives time to walk to specific locations in town, they might be accurate TO the locations, but the return trip is 100% UPHILL. Definitely not for an older couple or anyone that is not in very good shape. With that said, the unit itself was fine.

This was such a nice cabin. Its rustic appeal was exceeded by the modern interior. Everything was very clean and well kept. It’s also very close to everything downtown. Highly recommend and I’ll be back. Chris A.
